the values of the these attributes from the $SYSTEM.SAFE.CONFIGP file instead
of the $SYSTEM.SAFE.CONFIG file.
•
The password history record is maintained and updated in the
$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.USERID and $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.USERAX files as long as
encryption is either DES-based or OFF. However, if HMAC256 is enabled, the
password history is kept up to date only in USERAX. Therefore, after fallback, you
might not see the same password history as before fallback.
•
When you move a copy of the USERID file from one system to another, you must
also move its associated USERAX file. In addition, consider also moving
$SYSTEM.SAFE.* when performing this type of operation.
OSM and TSM
The new version of the NonStop Open System Management (OSM) Interface and
Compaq TSM module redundant power-scrub test provides independent battery
testing and an extended load test for the bulk power supplies. With this new version of
the power-scrub test, the redundant power scrub action can take up to 25 minutes to
complete.
The ability of the new battery scrub to detect weak or failed batteries is significantly
enhanced. For systems with many old batteries (over 5 years old), the battery scrub
might call out multiple batteries for replacement.
Installation and Configuration
•
To use the power-scrub feature, you must install one of these SPRs delivered with
the G06.29 RVU:
°
T0682G07^AAR or later for OSM
°
T7945G06^ABV or later for TSM
•
To select the new power-scrub version, add this line in
$SYSTEM.ZSERVICE.OSMCONF:
PowerScrubVersion = 2.
Select this new version only if all enclosures have been updated with a new PIB-to-
PIB crossover cable (FCO 44440).
•
The default test interval for the new power-scrub version is 7 days instead of 24
hours. To change the test interval, add this line in
$SYSTEM.ZSERVICE.OSMCONF:
DailyScrubTestingInterval = n,
where n is the number of days between power-scrub tests, up to a maximum value
of 30 days.
HP recommends leaving the default as 7 days unless an event requires a reduced
time between scrubs.
